Simon Field | Bold oaky flavor; rather rustic on the attack, not lacking for power for all that. A harmonious integrity seems to be lacking, however, and there are one or two rough edges. | 87
Andrew Jefford | Clear pale gold in color. Soft, sweet, warm, gentle, and sloth-like, but with ample creamy, floral charm once you have taken the time to peer and prod. Enticing and whisperingly seductive. On the palate, it is generous, soft, and full of the spicy-floral charm that the appellation promises: excellent work here, and a first-rate, totally recommendable wine. | 90
John Livingstone-Learmonth | Sound yellow robe. The bouquet is pleasing, a good, varied mix of prompts: violets, freesia, apricot, vanilla. I like its detail. The palate is well bound together, fusing stylish content with laudable freshness. Its elegance is a top card, the subtlety not far behind. A good capture of vintage and place here, balance, length, and authenticity. 2021. | 94
